OLED tiled display and a related tiling method
The OLED tiled display includes front and back lighting display units that emitting lights toward each other. The front lighting display unit includes a first substrate and a first organic light emitting device. The back lighting display unit includes a second substrate and a second organic light emitting device. The first and second light emitting devices neighbor laterally on each other, but are vertically aligned to a second extended section of the second substrate and a first extended section of the first substrate, respectively.
